NAEW&C Programme Management Organisation

In December 1978, a number of NATO Nations joined together to establish and implement the NATO NAEW&C Programme. As a result of the international agreements formally ratified at that time, the NAEW&C Programme Management Organisation (NAPMO) was created as a NATO Production and Logistics Organisation and established as a NATO civil organisation under the provisions of the 1951 Ottawa Agreement. NAPMO is directly responsible to the North Atlantic Council for all aspects of the Programme.

The United Kingdom exercises limited participation as a NAPMO member; but her fleet of E-3D aircraft is an integral part of the NAEW&C Force.

France has an observer role and maintains continual coordination to ensure her four E-3F aircraft remain interoperable with the other E-3 fleets. France also often assists in coordinated operations with the NAEW&C Force.
